What We Do
Int. Collaboration
Reclaim our Economy activists are engaged in various related activities across Europe. This helps us to engage with the broader systems change movement and allows for better organisation across different focus areas. We also frequently hold workshops to create a better environment for the sharing of skills and knowledge.
NARRATIVES
We recognise that it is vital for systems change to support marginalised people, not only with our solidarity but also with our bodies. Therefore, all our work is action focused and is aimed towards the creation of opportunities that can amplify the voices of those who are systematically excluded from the current narrative of our economic systems.
DIRECT ACTION
The transformational change our group aims for addresses the collective responsibility to co-create the conditions of an economy that serves our planet and the people. Linking thought and experience, we coordinate the organisation of international spaces for political action, networking, the existing alternative systems and the emerging ones. Through this we help to reimagine, experience and create the world in diverse, and creative ways.
ACTION CAMPS
The Action Camp is an ongoing community led project with the core objective to create systemic change that can be felt on the ground. In other words, we create a direct political interventions by bringing together civil society actors, activists, researchers, and artists from across Europe. Based on direct action and hands on projects, the Action Camp provides a unique opportunity for the sharing of concrete skills, knowledge, and narratives..
Action Cams bring together civil society actors, activists, and artists from across Europe in a hands-on working environment that combines shared experience, emotions and reflection. In addition to direct political interventions, this enables the sharing of skills, knowledge, and narratives providing a unique opportunity for networking and strategic dialogue.
